But you do know Watkins will get off with nothing more than a slap on the wrist and a fine so it won't make a difference anyway.
Too many times I've come away walking away from games shaking my head at the ref this season. I remember a time when I walked out disappointed with Cas for losing.

| At the game it was way down the other end of the pitch and I thought that it looked like a simple ball steal. However, having seen it on tv I've got to say it was high.
For once, (and I'll be the first to admit that I have in the past) I'm not knocking Goldie as I thought he had a few twicthy moments but otherwise a cracking game, and I hope he doesn't take the final moment too much to heart!

McGoldrick's tackle wasn't that bad, and I don't think anyone's ever suggested it was. He was wrong-footed and reached and grabbed. Penalty, but penalty sufficient.
I think Watkins was probably harshly cautioned to be honest, if you watch in slow motion then you can see he made contact with the knees, but watched at full speed it happened rather quickly to be a pre-meditated act. I've seen worse when players are dropping on a ball on the ground most weeks to be fair.

1) Wouldn't that make the game a thrilling spectacle. 2 officials had a decent view of it, why ask a third?
2) I've watched it a few times now. It was a penalty every single time I watched it. Are you sure you're watching the right incident?

| Regarding Goldy's tackle... initial contact was clearly shoulder and then onto the ball carrying arm, at best another 50/50 call that went the 'big' club's way. But meh - it's done with. Move on. As someone said earlier we had chances to stop them getting in that position, chances to win the game in normal time... if this or if that counts for nothing now.
Regarding knees into players and similar actions - in my mind any penalty should reflect the potential for significant injury. It should have nothing to do with intent, which is far more subjective thing to decide upon. It shouldn't matter whether he meant it, only that he did it.

| That would have been a penalty every week, in every game, regardless of who was playing and who the ref was; it was a lazy/tired arm in the face and was an easy decision for Bentham. It may be perceived as a harsh way for a tight and important game to end, but McGoldrick has to own that one - Bentham can sleep easy.
I can't help wondering if all the Cas fans arguing that a game should never be decided on a golden point felt the same way a few weeks ago as they were leaving BV, or if they've only arrived at this realisation since, hmmm, some time on Sunday afternoon?

Actually most fans thought it was a bad idea after the HALIFAX game nevermind the Wakey one.

| Watched it again and he didn't touch McGuire's face at all. Initial contact was on his shoulder and he dragged his arm down towards the ground diagonally, hence why the ball was displaced.
